Passenger side Break Light on the trunk lid is Out!

[Stix]

2015 Genesis 3.8. When I apply the brakes, the passenger side (trunk lid) tail light does not light up. However, with the night lights are on, it lights up until I apply the brakes. I replaced the entire tail light assembly and the problem persists. I don't think its a fuse since that would disable both tail lights right? Forbid, it's an electrical or possibly a computer problem. Any other suggestions I can take to isolate this challenge is sincerely appreciated!!! Thank you comrades, Stix!

I found a work around for the brake light that was out. See my post from 5-24-21.

Could be just a bad brake light bulb. I think those bulbs have two elements, one for brakes and one for just lighting.

Correction: I forgot our models have LED taillights. Crap; this makes burn-out tailights more expensive to fix.
